Beef Rub
I have lots of tasty rubs on the blog, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Brisket Rub and Dry Rub for Ribs but I’m telling you, it’s time to mix up this beef rub because you’re ready to grill, right?
I say this as I’m standing at the counter, gazing out the window looking at ALL. THE. SNOW. Seriously… is this ever going to end?
It’s a really good thing we invested in this AMAZING blanket for our Traeger this winter.
Worth.Every.Penny.
Ok. I’ll stop! For my friends living in the sunshine, it’s time to put this rub together because I know you’re already grilling, right? Fantastic! You’ll love how easy this rub is to make!

What’s a rub?
There are two kinds of rubs — dry and wet. Dry rubs use dry herbs and spices. Wet rubs use spices but they also incorporate wet ingredients. It could be something acidic like lemon, lime or orange juice or a nice olive oil, it depends on the recipe. Both dry and wet rubs are an easy way to pump up the flavor of your beef without overpowering it.
How to apply a dry rub?
Applying a rub is simple. After you mix the ingredients together, rub the spice mixture all over the surface of the beef. Be sure to get all it in all the nooks and crannies! Allowing the meat to soak up the flavors will ensure you have a flavorful piece of beef!
